46-40 Master's letter and what to do from now on

Yesterday, he was told by the Pope that he would be leaving as an S-class healer.

''Luciel, as an S-class healer, I will save the people. I didn't know so much as a dewdrop that you were thinking of using the words of the founder of the legendary Healer's Guild, adventurer and spirit user Sir Leinster Gastard, to help the Church.

Yeah, I hadn't thought about it. I hadn't thought about it.

"...yes.

'Then from now on, Mardan and Muneraa will take the lead on the guidelines bill, Dongahaha will coordinate the schedule and Catherine will scrutinize its contents.

""Haha."

'So, Luciel. I am pleased with your enthusiasm, but I hear from reports that you are not yet ready to ride your horse?

That's right. So I would prefer to live in a safe place.

...Yes.

'Then, no matter how much the Lord tries to do for the Church, there will be thieves and demons on the journey.

That's right. I'm so weak, you know.

''Yes. I'm also worried about fighting bandits and demons, and since I can't even ride a horse, I was just thinking that I'd die if I was surrounded.

Sure, there's a chance that you could die if you're attacked, but the problem is that where the Lord has been enslaved, etc., and kept in captivity, if you continue to use restorative magic and end up for the rest of your life, it's a loss not only to the church, but to the world.

Thank you. I'll do my best for the church at the church.

"Ha.

'So, there. A nobleman becomes old enough to take over the title of nobleman at the age of twenty. Now that we as a church have reached a certain age, we can send them off, and when they reach the age of twenty, we will allow them to leave as S-class healers.

...How did that happen?

Ha.

'My first order to my mistress will be to make sure you are well prepared, not to mention riding in the meantime.

As you wish. All right. I'll make my own paradise.

Haha. I'll do my best.

Hmm.

This is how they are coordinating the guidelines and legislation that are being gradually worked out, with the official announcement of the guidelines and legislation to be made as soon as I turn 20 years old, when I turn 20 on my journey. That will be under the joint name of the Pope and me.

I've heard that guidance will be given to the Healer's Guild and the Healing Institute gradually along with that.

Thus, the time limit for me to set out on my journey has been set.

I was currently the only S-class healer in the world, and I wanted to find an oasis from that pressure...and that's what I had in mind.

I was thinking about spending a year and five months like that.

After realizing that I might not be able to raise my level if I continued to drink Object X, I consequently stopped drinking Object X.

The reason I stopped as a result is that I sent a letter the other day to my mentor, Instructor Brod, for instructions.

There was a reply the other day, and besides praising me for becoming an S-class healer, it also talked about it.

[I had heard that Object X was developed to make the new adventurer as strong as possible, but it hadn't been conveyed to me until such a side effect. Object X is kind of a superstition, but let's test it without actually drinking it to see if it has anything to do with leveling up. If that raises your level, you can raise it. Luciel, I think when your level goes up you'll feel much stronger than you do now. That's not wrong, but it's not right. No matter how high and strong your physical abilities get, you're still one body. If you have to fight something as strong as you are head on, don't hesitate to run. You can never lose a battle. You must not lose in a battle, because you are always facing death. If you get carried away, there will always be retribution. If you become conceited in battle, I will cut you down for a whole day to remember this with a painful reminder to come to Meratni's Adventurers' Guild. If you can't, write me a letter and I'll go. As I've taught you before, status differences are not absolute. It's not just preparation, it's also luck, circumstance, and chemistry that can make the difference between winning and losing. If you can't hear that, then do what you want after you beat me. [Master to the foolish disciple]

My master treated me badly that day, and I couldn't help but be surprised and grateful that he understood my true nature correctly.

I'm sure he was going to take me back to the Adventurer's Guild and beat my guts out, but the situation didn't allow for that either. I guess that's the way it is.

It was fresh in my mind that I bowed my head in the direction of the city of Meratni, thinking of my master, who had a broader vision and thought about things more deeply than me.

''Well, I haven't been to the labyrinth since then, and I haven't participated in the training of the War Maiden Holy Knights, so nothing has really changed.''

A year and five months is precious time.

I'd like to go to Meratoni before I start my journey, but first I can't even ride my horse, so I'm hoping that Mr. Yambas and Forenoir will help me and, if possible, give me some Forenoir.

The other horses either run away from me or refuse to ride and are in no mood to ride at all.

There's also the problem of demons. Unlike in the labyrinth, the demons on the ground are more vocal than the undead, and their corpses don't disappear. In addition, they have emotions, and they can cry and get angry. Demons that mimic and show coordination are all problems that make me sick to my stomach.

The Pope asked me to continue the healing of the Holy City until the other guidelines are enforced. Of course, it was decided that it would be once a month so that the healing center that is currently in place would not be damaged, but will it really?

Horseback riding, demons, healing. Plus leveling up, church study, training, and, oh, I've only known a few places to eat. Do you think this will get you in love? Protagonists, many of them. Give me room in my heart.

He was muttering such things from the Pope's private room back to his own room.

Conconcert.

''I'm Marluka of the War Maiden Holy Knights. I'm here to receive Master Luciern.

Yeah. You're not being polite. I don't know what a pickup is, though.

Yes. Well, it's unlocked, but what did I miss?

The door opens with a clatter and Marluka-san opens her mouth to reveal her face.

''I heard that Luciern-sama is going to go around the world eventually, so I heard that he's going to look at each knight squad from today to find a companion, and he's going to look at our squad?

You're talking too fast.

'Not about that at all. And Luciel-sama...no, I don't need a designation. If there are a lot of other people in the room it's still no good when you call them Luciern.

I laugh and head for the door.

'Well, I was going to beat the crap out of you in training if you suddenly dignified yourself as great.

'Are there only battle crazies in this world?

'The knightly corps is all about protection, but as the great men say, attack is absolute defense and battle is numbers. That's the motto of our unit.

Did reincarnation used to be a thing? Wait, I thought there were nine more reincarnated people? I completely forgot about it. Oh, but there's nothing to recognize the name or anything else? What's the point of looking for it?

...

'Luciern? What are you freezing over? Lady Lumina and the others are waiting for us, so let's get going.

Thinking about the reincarnation, I stopped thinking about other things and let Marulka-san look into my face. Marulka-san is a person with short reddish-brown hair and blue eyes, whose expression changes from one to the next like a cat. The people of this world are cute at every turn, so they are in a hurry to respond.

''Oh, excuse me. Let's go.

I put on a poker face while I sealed up once about the reincarnation and headed to the training grounds of the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad with an eye to selecting knights.
